Hi Dennis,
Are you working from a remote client, i.e. not logged into the machine
locally (in X)? If so, the png and jpg devices seem to need to be able
to connect to X.

Try using the pdf device instead.

Hi there,
after several problems with installing R on a Debian server It now
finally
works at least roughly. With roughly I mean that the 'core'
function do work
properly, but I'm still having problems with the image export. When
I try to
call
png(filename="my_file.png", width=800, height=300, pointsize=12, bg =
"white")
I just get the error message "X11 is not available". But I don't
know what
packages (or symlinks???) could still be missing.
I've installed R using the latest 2.8.0 version from the server
which I
could compile (after solving quite some different problems) normally.
I hope anyone can help me out, best wishes,
Dennis Schmidt
